Cafe Fukumona’s Monako Whimsical Lunch with Drink and Today’s Treat near Nishinomiya-Kita IC【Nishitsu Gourmet】

I went to Cafe “Fukumona”, tucked away in a residential neighborhood near the Nishinomiya Interchange (*^^)v

The last time I tried to visit, both the parking lot and the cafe were full, and lunch was already sold out, so I tried again right after opening!!

Lunch and Sweets at Cafe “Fukumona”

Monako’s Whimsical Lunch <with drink> ¥1,500 excluding tax Limited quantity

A creative lunch made with as many local vegetables as possible The blackboard inside said “today’s lunch,” but it seems to change roughly weekly (^o^)／

The main dish was cheese-baked hamburger steak (#^.^#
The beautifully browned cheese catches your eye, but the meat juices are incredible!!! It’s the kind of flavor that makes you want to shout, “More rice, please!” (^o^)／

Sautéed petit vert and shiitake mushrooms in butter soy sauce
Petit vert is apparently a rose-shaped vegetable created from kale and Brussels sprouts (^o^)／

Mustard-marinated nanohana and cherry tomatoes
Nanohana is something you want to eat at least once when spring arrives, and it went really well with the mustard flavor!

Dried daikon and enoki mushrooms dressed with plum
It had a different texture and flavor from simmered dried daikon, so I ended up trying to recreate it at home (^^)

Spinach ohitashi
A reliable side dish (^o^)／

Miso soup with mitsuba and fu
It was a gently flavored miso soup (^^)

White rice
This white rice! It was glossy, each grain stood out beautifully, and I couldn’t stop eating!!! When I asked, I heard it was rice from Nishinomiya (^o^)／ Nice work, Nishinomiya rice!

Niko and Mama went together, so we had the same menu, but

To our surprise, every dish except the main was served in different tableware !(^^)! The atmosphere felt different, making it a meal you could enjoy with your eyes too !(^^)!

Since lunch comes with a drink, of course we ended up ordering something sweet too～

From “today’s sweets,” we had brown sugar banana cheesecake ¥500 including tax and crème brûlée ¥400 including tax

For drinks, we had hot coffee and, for an extra ¥100, an iced café au lait

The coffee is Fukumona’s original blend roasted by BUNDY BEANS ヽ(^o^)丿

The brown sugar, banana, and cheese each came through in just the right harmony ＼(^o^)／

The crème brûlée was crisp on top, creamy inside, and had such a comforting sweetness (#^.^#)

The weather was nice, so we ate on the terrace ＼(^o^)／

The inside had a great atmosphere too!

Oh, and the Yamaguchi-cho cafe has a fireplace! Fukumona’s fireplace was from Nishinomiya Stove!

Here it is on the map↓

The address is 3-5-14 Shimoyamaguchi, Yamaguchi-cho, Nishinomiya, Hyogo.

Final Thoughts

The name comes from the owner, “Fukuzo,” and his wife, “Monako”! Put them together and you get “Fukumona” (*^^)v

Their attentive service was perfectly in sync, and the atmosphere was lovely and comfortable～

Apparently they usually don’t allow coverage, but they kindly agreed since it was for the people of Nishinomiya! You can really feel their love for Nishinomiya!

It was the kind of place that makes you want to visit again ＼(^o^)／
